I'm listing my Supermono here, before I put it on Ebay. The bike is located in the U.S. I'm hoping someone in NZ wants it.

I entered "Auckland" in the "location" in order to have the form take it. The bike is located in the U.S.

1994 Ducati Supermono. #34

#34 of 65 built by Ducati.



Ducati #34 has its origins from New Zealand. This bike took second in the Isle of Mann TT (IOMTT) in 1994. raced by Robert Holden.

The bike was then purchased by Ian Falloon who wrote about the Supermono in several of his books, including “The Ducati Story”, “Ducati Racers”, “The Standard Catalog of Ducati” , “The Ducati 916” and “Ducati Desmoquattro Superbikes”. Mr. Falloon was kind enough to sign two of these books for me and write about Supermono #34 in the books. The books have photos of both Rob Holden and Supermono #34 in those books.

Along with the sale of this motorcycle come all the books and history. This includes letters and correspondents with those people involved with the IOMTT race. These correspondents include letters from former crew members involved in the 94’ TT as well as letters from Mr. Falloon and Alan Cathcart. I will also include all photos and video tapes I’ve collected showing Supermono #34 and Rob Holden.

The bike is in excellent condition. It comes with Two (2) sets of body work and an extra set of rear sets.
Pierre Terblanche designed the look of the Supermono, with Claudio Domenicali and Massimo Bordi designing the frame.

I'm pretty sure that's the bike I saw being raced at Ruapuna prior to it being shipped to the IOM.Man it was quick.

Same bike but when it competed in the F3 Championship it was ridden by Rodney O'Conner son of Don O'Conner (Eurobike) campaigned under race #98

It dumped it's guts at the 94' Ulster GP (big end let go)

Interesting to see it's sporting new fairings

Not bad considering the race spec cost was $42k aus when new

I agree, I hope it ends up here, but at $160k I suspect it won't.
